Comments:

Pluriel body and mechanics are similar to Citroën C3, which earned four stars on the Euro NCAP tests. Like C3, Pluriel showed itself as a balanced car. The body well stood back the frontal blow, having experienced only a small deformation of the safety frame. The limiters have worked effectively by transferring only a small amount of the energy of the collision on breasts of seds. Protection with lateral impact is recognized as good, and the side airbag for the head even further reduced the risk of injury. Pedestrian protection turned out to be at the level above average.

Front punch:

The car was tested without upper ceiling arcs, to demonstrate the worst result. Even in this form, the body behaved well, having experienced the minimum deformation of the front racks and leg niches. As a result, small forces were affected on breastplates, and the legs were well protected. In any small car, it is difficult to create a space for complete protection of the driver's knees. In this case, the steering column is danger.

Security of passenger children:

Both children's seats were posted by the face "in the direction of movement." Front passenger airbag is turned off manually. Instructions for opening airbags are made in the form of a short-lived pictogram on the passenger side of the front panel. This is not enough to effectively prevent the inadmissibility of the installation of a children's chair to the place of the front passenger with an active airbag. With a headache strike, the elder child experienced too much load on the chest, and the younger - on the chest and head. Protecting both at the side impact was at the proper level.

Side strike:

Safety in this test was at a high level, and the airbags installed in the backs seats for the head and chest proved their effectiveness when simulating the side impact of the pillar.

Pedestrian safety:

The danger represent the bumper, the front edge and some other zones of the surface of the hood, but other elements have shown well. A positive role also played a large windshield. The overall result was very good for such a small car.
